This is a great idea. Is it possible to set up a feedback link from each game into the relevant forum section for bug reports etc? Saves having to navigate through the forum structure, and might mean that bugs are cleared up more quickly.

Currently, the maps thread is used (found under the stickies in Final Forge), This has been proposed (along with having a link to tourney threads in Tournament Games)

This should probabally go in Suggs and Bugs anyway (the suggestion, not the announcement)

I didin't say that but i still think he should have the right to be the first to try it.

If he don't find the map any good to play one then he can rework it...lots of good stuff come from this.

That seems unnecessary. first off, many games are going to last longer than 2 days or take longer than 2 days to find the problems (Das Schloss for instance).

Second, its probably a good idea to get a wider perspective. The map maker has been intimately involved in the process fro start to end, having some new eyes take a look at it may bring some ideas out that seem obvious to the mapmaker but not to the rest of the CC Community.

Third, players playing the beta maps have a clear warning that things may be changed midway through. By joining these maps they accept these perils.

Fourth, it isn't as if the map maker can't play the first or second or whatever game, they are free to make whatever games they need to.

As my suggestion wasen't about finding flaws in the first place just that he should aumaticly join that map before some1 else or something like that. I still think he should be the first on it. But i get what you mean.

So basically the idea is that by saying BETA then there is a chance the game may change on you while playing so enter at own risk, then going to NEW where you know its a new map that has no bugs, thus not susceptible to changing mid way through.....

great to see this it was long overdue, can maps fail bata testing ? ie can they be sent back to the foundry if they are fundamentally flawed ?

Don't now why people on here don't like being cooks, remember under siege: A former SEAL, now cook, is the only person who can stop a gang of terrorists when they sieze control of a US Navy battleship.
